Notice that the growing number of the congregation is mentioned last in this passage. How often is that the first thing we mention instead? We must focus on being united as a church before we can even think about numbers. We must focus on our calling as a church. The early church had everything in common including their meals, prayers, sharing with the needy, and devotion to the Word—just to name a few. They lived as if they were one big family—which they actually were in Christ. We call each other brothers and sisters in Christ; let us live that out with gladness and sincerity.
